The Tests of Adult Basic Education (TABE) is designed to assess the skills and knowledge of adult learners in applied math, mathematic computation, reading, and language. Powered by DRC INSIGHT, students are notified of their TABE exam score immediately after completing their exam in the Baldy View ROP Career Training Center computer lab.

HOW DO I SCHEDULE MY TABE EXAM?

When ready, prgram candidates can call the Career Training Center at 909-947-3400 to schedule their TABE exam. If testing is open, the student will be scheduled according to the established testing schedule. You can also submit an Adult Interest Form to receive a call to schedule your TABE exam.

Reading - 25 questions/25 minutes
